Second! Those back catalogs are gold mines! If the traditional publishers are as worried as we hear, then why aren't they making those older titles available? I've had a long 'want list' for over three years and almost nothing has appeared. They can't control the self-published new material; why aren't they taking advantage of the material that they DO control? Personally, my spending on e-books would increase tremendously if my favorites could be purchased.
